I should update on my life a little. Maybe? Maybe.
Summer homework. Bleh. Missed the whole end-of-June suggested deadline for setting up a del.icio.us account. I could just do that now, but I figure, if I already missed the deadline I might as well put it off a while longer. Yeah, you know I'm a good student.
Reading My Antonia to write an essay on for English summer homework. I've been reading it as soon as I wake up in the morning so I can lay in bed for a while without worrying about my unoccupied mind making me fall asleep again. It's hard to wake up at a decent hour when you don't have anything to wake up FOR that isn't happening in the afternoon XD The book? Not bad. I try to relate Antonia to Ilse and that helps me through it... Does it have a point? So far it doesn't seem to. I'm over half-way through, I think, and with a book on life in the old West and immigrant struggles, no large conflict makes it hard to keep my attention on it. The fact that the book isn't so bad and I'm making it through it easily signals to me that Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Jungle are probably going to be harder to deal with...
I went to a family reunion yesterday. One which I hadn't heard about until that morning, which is a perfect example of how my family is. It was nice, saw relatives I don't see often -- my paternal grandfather, two of my dad's siblings, my two cousins and the two children belonging to one of them... Also met a lot of people whose names I will never remember. Lost a game of Bocce with Bertha as my partner against a women who said her grandmother is my grandfather's sister -- what does that make me in relation to her? -- and her cousin. Ate typical picnic/cookout food.
I'm working on subtitling a video of Spring Awakening because of the people I'vetried to force it on shared it with have complained that the miss plot points because they can't always understand the dialogue and lyrics. Over the course of like, two weeks or something I'm as far as the scene with Wendla and the doctor, and I hope to work like crazy today and finish it by tonight, but we all know the real chance that'll happen...
However, I've come to find that there are a few lines in the show that I can't make out with certainty, and so far no one has replied to me at TGO. Anyone know any of these blanks? Your help would be very much appreciated. After all, if I do finish it tonight, I'd sort of like to know these:
In the preacher's dialogue during the Pirate songs off-Broadway: "...for a day, as [?] reminds us..."
In the beating scene, "The next day, you can see the welts. It's terrible. Really, [?]."
In the scene before the scene before The Dark I Know Well: "Now that that skittish, [?] moron..."
And that is my life, or lack of, as of late. That's how I like it, though.
